Designing a Newspaper


Designing a Newspaper
First Part: Creating Logo and Template 
We went research through online to get some ideas for our logo and theme.We referred to Malaysia’s newspaper, as well as newspaper printed by others countries such as Italy, US, and UK. We realized that those publishers normally used the basic font for their logo due to it is easier to read on it. Moreover, the color that used are not colorful, yet keep it clear and clean. After that we discuss on it and came out some ideas as following.
